Are you serious? Burning a second bootrom exploit, with a half code, non tested, buggy and hardly functional jailbreak is defiantly no worth releasing
dude the jailbreak works flawlessly there is no bugs at all.. The only downside is waiting for the jailbreak apps to be updated to 4.1. Even musclenerd defends geo. Saying if geos jailbreak could jailbreak all IDevices then hes should be used.

im probably going to hold off til tues. cause im going away tomorrow and wont be back til monday. so being away without everything I need and my phone acting crazy would suck. If I still had my macbook id take the chance because I could fix it on the road.

Yep, I'm with you on this. I'll be gone for a couple of days on biz & the last thing I need is my iP4 going bonkers while everything I need to fix it is sitting on my desk back home.
Guess I'll just have to grin & bear it...:D
 
Can someone please tell me how they're getting the JB to work?? I'm on a MacBook, therefore the only way I can run windows is via Parallels.
 
Yes, it's a bootrom exploit so it can't be fixed without a hardware upgrade. But a spare exploit can be used for when Apple do said hardware upgrade.


Ahh.. That makes sense.. I guess the way I was reading and comprehending the debate was that the exploits were firmware based (using the PDF exploit like Jailbreakme used).
 
Hi

So when i got my new ipad some weeks ago.

It had 3.2.2

Now. a week ago installed 4.2 beta 2 on my ipad. 3 days ago, i did a full restore from DFU, and installed 3.2.2.

Now i am on 3.2.2. I dont know how JB works, but why isnt the JB working on my ipad?

BTW. im using a computer that cant power the ipad true the usb port . However, windows notices when the ipad gets connect.

Would appreciate any help so much.

Its just stuck on waiting on device after i press let it rain. i dont have itunes or anything installed.
 
i would wait a few days. limera1n could patch things wrong and cause apps not to work.

And then you could just restore, not that big of a deal if things don't work exactly as they should but for me, everything has been just fine so far with all Cydia apps I've installed.
 
Someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I've booted into Windows in Parallels, selected my iPhone 4 so only Windows/Parallels recognizes it. When I press "Make it Ra1n" the button changes to "Waiting for device..." and just stays there. Do I need to restore my iPhone 4 to a clean install of 4.1?

(I've been on 4.1 for a few weeks now)
You need iTunes installed on the Windows partition/virtual disk.

go back to Limera1n.com and read GeoHots own post, he is working on already known bugs, you don't have to believe me or anyone on twitter, just read the developers own post.

All i said was that it was unstested and half working, the Limerain/Blackrain app doesn't even deinstall itself you have to manually remove it.

Half working? Don't you think that's a bit of a stretch? It's working perfectly, at least so far.

Yes there are bugs but they are so minor that they don't even matter.


Known bugs

3GS new bootrom is broken, fix pending: Doesn't affect people with an iPhone 4

Some people need to restart to get the Cydia icon to show up after installing: Restart the phone, how much easier can it be?

Some people still don't have windows: Is he talking about Microsoft Windows here? How is this even a bug?

Beta iOS versions aren't supported: Again...only affects a small handful of people

Uninstall in limera1n app doesn't work, you can just delete the blackra1n.app directory, i need regression testing: Easy to do with SSH. If you don't know how to SSH, you probably shouldn't be dealing with jailbreaking anyway

you are proving my point, half way done and untested, those are such a stupid bugs that should not make it to a public releas, those bugs should have been seen way before the software is public, IMO, if he missed those simple ones, the more complex could be easily present.

The big sell point here was "all devices"...all of the sudden the 3GS is out.... that makes it Half way done
 
iPod touch 4. No problems, (I played around with Winterboard customizing) except I had to restart to get Cydia. How hard is restarting? You have to restart to get the Cydia apps anyways :p

Agreed. It's really not that big of a problem. I'm just waiting for an OS X version as I have no access to Windows.
 
I went from 4.0.1 to 4.1 iPhone 4 using limera1n so far no problems. I used APT backup to restore some of my cydia apps.

The only problem I had during the jailbreak was that my phone got stuck in DFU mode but running TinyUmbrella and kicking the device out of DFU mode took care of that.

I think this time around I will spend the $5 and get a better backup app in cydia.
 
And that's called talking from the back side..

Not true.

jailbreakme.com was worked on forever and it patch one thing wrong that most wouldnt see.

blackra1n wasnt seen until a few days after cause the apps that used the os deeply weren't updated yet and when they were they didnt work.

stop thinking everything is just peachy fine. also this is geohot. everything he releases is extremely buggy till updated 20 times.
 
Can someone please tell me how they're getting the JB to work?? I'm on a MacBook, therefore the only way I can run windows is via Parallels.

By using a Windows laptop. ;)

I think you'll need to use a Windows computer or Bootcamp on your Macbook.
 
That's why you spend $4.99 and buy a good backup/restore package from Cydia. It's called PkgBackup and it works fantastically. Backs up every tweak and app you've added from Cydia (completely selectable) and same with the restore process once you've re-done your phone again. Best $5 I ever spent I do believe.

this stupid thing keep stelling me i have no internet connection which i do have
 
I just upgraded to 4.1 jailbreak on my iPhone4. On 4.01 3G Unrestrictor worked fine for Facetime, since upgrading to 4.1 it no longer works over 3G. Anyone else having this problem, hopefully it will be patched.

Anyone comment on this?

Also, if you've unlocked your iPhone 4 on 4.0.1, can I use TinyUmbrella to maintain the 4.0/4.0.1/4.0.2 baseband and upgrade to 4.1, use Limera1n and then use UltraSn0w to unlock?
 
Go Greenpois0n will not be released tomorrow? If someone can confirm this, I will be using this JB I guess for my Ipod Touch 4g.
 
I'd be surprised if it didn't work under virtualization, I've always ran them under VMWare and never had any issues. Parallels should be fine though I've never tested it there.

Make sure you have iTunes installed, it is required. (On the Windows partition or VM Disk, obviously, not just on your Mac!)

In fact I had an old 3G that refused to update to iOS 4 on my Mac and I actually ended up doing it under Windows via VMWare Fusion and it worked flawlessly.
 
After seeing the Chronic Dev Team talk about not releasing/burning a 2nd exploit for the future and having the end users in mind, I really feel like I need to make a donation. They work very hard on all these exploits and even though we complain, they deal with it and still release these exploits. I'm going to wait for GreenP0ison because I'm happy on 4.0.1 and a few days doesn't really matter to me for HDR and game center.
 
how did you guys get this to work?

i followed the instructions and still cant see no limrain icon... im on a iphone can someone pls tell me

thanks
